Tennessee primary tests redrawn Black-majority district

Tennessee primary tests redrawn Black-majority district

Tennessee's primary elections on Thursday mark the first test of a new congressional map that dismantled a majority Black district in Memphis, reshaping the 9th District to favor Republicans. The redraw followed a Supreme Court ruling weakening Voting Rights Act protections, prompting Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen to retire. Republicans, who hold eight of nine House seats, aim for a clean sweep, with President Trump endorsing state Sen. Brent Taylor in the GOP primary.
